Ninja Scroll

Ninja Scroll is a Silent-only shop relic that adds 3 Shivs to your hand at the start of combat. Shivs are 0-cost attacks dealing 4 damage that Exhaust after use. The relic functions as an opening move for a Shiv build.

The problem is the turn-1 hand becomes 5 + 3 Shivs = 8 cards, diluting hand quality. Shiv damage is only 4, and without Accuracy the damage output is noticeably weak. Since shop relics burn gold to buy, it's often not worth the investment at this power level.

That changes if you have Spiraled Dart. Opening with 3 Shivs grants +3 Dexterity instantly, locking in strong turn-1 Block. If Accuracy is also in play, Shiv damage becomes respectable, and this relic becomes a reliable opener for a Shiv build. Only consider the purchase once the build is already coming together.
